A Busy Cat Doctor. TEror,, tIta Tn1iananoI;s


 | There is a cat doctor who runs a drug store in Washington who, it is said, is doing the most thriving practice of any alleViator of the Ills of the feline and canine races of any man in his profession in the whole coun- try. This physician has the highest class of callers of any professional man in the city, only the most aristocratic can afford to have an expert wait upon their pets. At times as many as three or four carriages, owned by the most refined and wealthy peo- pie at the national capital are drawn up in front of the drug store and office, and his business is so large that customers with their patients have to wait their turns like men in barber shops. It is seldom that man enters the drug store or office for the purpose Of re- ceiViag professional call from the doctor. They are almost invariably women.
 The doctor was philosophizng yesterday to some gentlemen on the general ails of cats and dogs, during which he stated that more trouble came from lack of fresh air and ex- ercise than anything else. He especially de precated the fact that these household pets were guarded so closely in the house, and were net allowed to romp around like chil- dren.
 'I could name," he said, families in this city that guard closely their pet cats and dogs as they do their children. Large mum bers of them have cribs and cradles and lounges made for their pets and cushioned in the most comfortable manner possible. At one place visited recently I found fine old Maltese reclining on pillow of down. When asked for it for the purpose of mak- ing examination the lady of the house lifted it as carefully as if it were tiny baby. She had delicate spoons and forceps and a doche to inject medicine into the poor things ears. There was a swab of silk and cotton to cleanse it's throat, as it had had something like diphtheria, and when I spoke of a se- were medicine as the only hope for recovery Ina thrau m n in hat mothers do when extreme measures are to be rssorted to to save their infants"

WOMAN SUFFRAGE IN KANSAS.
 The political situation in Kansas is un-
 usually interesting, owing to the law recent
 ly made by which women are gwen the rlght
 of voting at municipal elections.
 The women seem inclined to take advan- tage of their new privilege. Thousands of them have registered. In Leavenworth, where the total registration amounts to 6, ,991 the women who nave registered number 2,673, all but GIT of these being white. In Fort Scott 800 women, who are organized and who announce that they are mugwumps, have placed their names on the poll lists. The same number have registered in Empo- ria, where it is said, they include nearly all the educated women of the place. In Par sons, of the 3, 300 voters registered 6OO are women, In Atchison the women have not taken much interest in the matter, only 300 registering out of total vote of 5000. In Olathe the women are organized and have candidate for Mayor. In Junction City, out of total vote of 7Se nearly 200 are women. The women of McPherson have nearly all registered. In Lawrence, out of total reg istration of 3,011 no less than 1,157 are women, and of these one-half are negroes. In Salina, Paol, Osage City and Garden City the women have registered in considerable force and are preparing to go to the polls on election day to support candidates already agreed upon.
 A peculiarity of the law under which some of the women of Kansas will vote is that only such women as have been born in this coun- try are entitled to the privilege. The Chica- go Herald very properly comments upon this feature of the law as follows: Upon these conditions woman suffrage in Kansas amounts to nothing more than aparty device and cannot, by any misapplication of terms, be construed as recognition of women as sex. The women of Kansas do not vote be- cause they are women, but because politi- cal party, feeling the necessity of having some help in carrying out certain policies, believes that they will be of service to it. It is supposed that women of foreign birth are inimical to prohibitory laws, as many men of fareign birth undoubtedly are. To disfran- chise the foreign born citizens of Kansas was not feasible, but the enfranchisement of native women suggested itself to the Know Nothings, and by this means the same ends were sought after.

In this climate nearly every body has now and then cold or cough is troubled with sore throat. Iu such case should not make great fuss over it, but quiet ly take some Lactart and Honey, one Of the best preparations for the of coughs and colds that has ever been introduced to the American people. J1actart is the pure acid of milk. and compounded in cert ain proportions with Honey has been found to possess wonderful curative power in the treat ment. of all throat troubles.
 It is absolutely free from drugs, and therefore, contains nothing to derange the stomach the nervous system. The combination of a sweat and sour has been tried again and again. and with uni formly good results; but nothing effective in this line of Lactart and Honey has ever before been tried. Honey is known to be soothing and healing, while Lactart dissoves the thckened mucus that gathers in the throat and in this twofold effect lies Honey.

A COMMERCIAL FACT.-The dem
ocratic and some republican news.
papers have had much to say in con-
domination of Senator Sherman's
Springfield speech, and very few
have had good word to say for the
distinguished Buckeye. W lie
there was much in the speech that
was dlscreditable, there were not a
few highly commendable utterances.
One of the latter was the following
"There arc some things the laws
cannot do. They cannot regulate
The price of labor Or anything else.
This can only be done by the laws
of supply and demand" 1t is un-
fortunate that workingmen and leg
islators will not learn this truth
At every session of Congress the
demagogues crowd to the front with
schemes for the betterment of the
condition of workingmen, all these
schemes being based on an increase
of wages, either directly or by short
er hours. Much of the time of the
workingmen themselves is taken up
in the denunciation of the law MAX
ers who will not attempt the enact
ment of laws for the regulation of
wages. IL the laboring men could
once learn the truth. that labor is
commercial commodity, and its price
fixed, controlled and regulated by
commercial laws, which are entirely
separate and distinct from statutory
enactments, they would acquire
chunk of wisdom that might be of
service to them in saving time, mon
ey and effort. Laws cannot only
not regulate the price of labor, but
they cannot regulate the number of
hours which shall constitute a days
work. If wages have been based on
ten hours day. a statute cannot be
enacted which win make eight hours
a days work, the wages remaining
as they were for ten hours.
Perhaps SenatorSherman would not
express himself as above in the Sen
ate if bill were before the chamber
which aimed at the regulation of
workingmen's wages. There are
very few Of our Congressman who
are ambitious for continuance or
promotion, who would dare assert
the truth as plainly as Sherman did
it the other day,

THE question whether woman
is legally person has come up be-
fore the courts at different times,
and has been decided in the affirma-
tive or in the negative according to
the liberality or conservatism of the
judges. Thus, in Massachusetts,,
where properly qualified persons"
were entitled to practice law, the
Supreme Court decided that Miss
Leila j. Robinson, though properly
qualified, was not person, and spe-
cial act of the Legislature had to be
passed to enable her to practice.
Now, for the first time, the ques.
ton has arisen whether a man is a
person. One Samuel Clark, recent
ly arrested and bound over to the
grand jury for being found in dis
orderly house in Iowa, was released
on a writ of habeas corpus, tried be-
fore Judge Given. The grounds for
the decision were that the word per-
son as used in the statutes does not
apply to man found in such
house, but only to women. In
other words, a woman is a person
when the law wishes to punish her,
but man equally guilty is not
person. Again, on election day a
woman is not person, because vot-
ing is to done; but q man is a per
son, and has the privilege of max
ing laws and electing Judge Given
to interpret them.
